The Cooke Book®- Recipes for Success Great Tasting Fruit and a Whole Lot More When you eat fresh fruit, picked tree ripe, dripping with flavor and sweetness, it is a great joy. It is something you remember. When most homeowners eat supermarket fruit, picked hard, held in storage and shipped long distances, no wonder the farmers are broke. The fruit has little taste and buyers seem to forget to return for more. That fruit has been bred for good looks, eye appeal and early harvest but the breeders seem to forgot to keep the best tasting ones in the process. The L.E. Cooke Co is in the business of growing trees that delight the end user. Our fruit trees are selected for great taste first and foremost. If they happen to have a long harvest season (opposite of what a farmer wants), all the better. After all, what family can eat all the fruit from a tree in 3-5 days? I personally look forward to July 4th every year, not for the fireworks, but because I know to visit the Santa Barbara Peach trees which ripen about that time to eat some of the best tasting peaches I have ever tasted. Sparklers for the taste palette. The staff and workers at L.E. Cooke Co have the opportunity to taste test great fruit from May through November. It is from our taste experiences that the staff is creating Recommended Variety Fruit lists for the 45 Sunset Climate Zones across the United States and Canada. (Why Sunset Zones? We explain why in detail on our web site and you can find your zone(s) on the Sunset Zone Map). 1 There are 71 acres of scion wood orchards near the office where we make the cuttings and collect the budwood to re-create the trees that are so favored by homeowners and quality landscapes. The computer says there are over 26,000 records of trees, vines and shrubs in this collection. The Research Orchard is next to the main office where we can walk down the rows letting our taste buds select the new fruit trees to offer each year. For fruit tree selections – taste is the highest priority. If you look through this 84 page Catalog you will find 31 pages dedicated to edible fruits and nuts – trees, grapes, berries and vegetables. You will also notice there are a large number of “Heirloom” fruit trees. These are the great tasting fruit trees that have been favorites for many, many years and, in spite of breeders’ best efforts to replace them, have remained favorites across our land. Our goal is to grow great tasting fruit trees and help you select the right ones for your climate. Your success depends upon happy customers, so having a successful fruit tree program builds your reputation by word of happy mouths. I hope that by the time you receive this catalog that we will have completed the Recommended Variety lists for the 45 Sunset Climate Zones and posted them on our web site. So I guess I better wrap this up and get it to the printer. Then I can figure out how to add those variety lists to the web site. I think you will appreciate this tool. There is a whole lot more in this catalog than edible fruits, but that has been the hot button in recent years so we want to help you capitalize on it. I am hearing early reports of good spring sales. I hope you have a great year. God Bless. Ron Ludekens 2 DRIP IRRIGATION The Cooke Book®- Recipes for Success Conversion from Furrow Irrigation to Drip Irrigation Persimmon Roots on Drip System - Huge difference! DRIP IRRIGATION IMPROVES QUALITY In recent years it was our decision to convert our field production from furrow irrigation to drip irrigation. All our irrigation water is pumped from underground aquifers. The original decision was purely to be good stewards of resources and cut down on water usage because we knew the cost of the drip would cost more than the savings of electrical costs by pumping less water. The up-front conversion costs were huge so only a few fields could be done each year. What we did not anticipate was the huge improvement in our quality of trees and root systems. Consistency of size across the rows was improved – even in fields with weak spots such as sand streaks. When the hottest temperatures arrive in the summer, we can irrigate whole fields at one time and prevent trees from shutting down – again aiding the uniformity of growth and branching. The biggest improvements were hidden until harvest. The root systems are vastly improved. Water and nutrients are kept in the immediate root zone. Before food and water were in the furrows between the rows which meant the digger blades cut off the fibrous roots out there. Now they stay with the tree. Some nurseries undercut their trees to accomplish this same affect but we have accomplished the effect without running the risk of slowing tree growth or introducing disease like crown gall to the cut roots. Viability also improved as a result. Although viability losses are very low, the more sensitive items have shown improvement. For example, Persimmons used to have a very coarse root structure with little fiber. Losses traditionally ran higher because of it. Today the trees have a mass of fiber (see photo) and losses for those drip grown trees have dropped to nearly nothing. 100% of the 2010-2011 crop will be harvested from fields fed on drip and every crop from here on will be on drip. It took a huge investment to convert nearly 1,000 acres but it is done and we are pleased with the results. The commitment to conserve water turned into a better quality product. In the end, we did save money too. Drip greatly reduced tractor work, weeding and dust suppression. The Cooke Book®- Recipes for Success EXCELLENCE IN BAREROOT FROM THE NURSERIES OF L. E.

PLANTING 3 OR 4 TREES IN THE SPACE OF ONE Through various trials and field experience, we have concluded that the desire to have a combination “cocktail” tree can better be filled by planting 3 or 4 fruit trees in the space of one. Many “cocktail” combinations have one or more unruly varieties which dominate the tree. This leads to ultimate customer dissatisfaction when the multiple varieties no longer exist. See the Edible Fruit Guide or our web site at www.lecooke.com for winning combinations of fruit trees. Flowers FOR JANUARY 2011 DELIVERY Ice Cream (Prunus sp.)

Many homeowners desire pecan trees for their beautiful shade and any small harvest of nuts is a side benefit. # Sweating of varieties prone to dehydration will help bud break (to leaf). This is very important in dry, cold or windy climates. An enclosed greenhouse with higher humidity (but not running sprinklers) is easiest. Another way is to lay the tree down and cover with 2-3” of wet sand, fir or pine shavings and leave until buds start to break. The warmer the temperature, the faster the buds will break. Keep the covering material moist. + = On Nemaguard Peach Root - = On Lovell Peach Root τ = On Pecan Seedlings *ADD 50¢ per tree for bundles of 5 in sizes 5/8” or smaller.

Next year’s underground water supply Limited Fog = Nature’s refrigerator We are blessed by God with an incredibly fertile growing region in the Central Valley of California. The Sierra Nevada mountains provide the snow pack and the underground water to turn this deep alluvial plain from desert into the greatest growing area on earth. The relatively mild winters still provide enough fruitful chill hours because of periodic bouts of Tule Fog. This fog keeps the winter highs below the magical 45º F. threshold for days & sometime weeks on end.

It has very little to do with the quality of the bloom and plant. Some of the best lilacs are single. When holding bareroot trees, we recommend storing in coarse sand only. Use cement sand or coarser, not fine plaster sand. For best results, do not store in organic matter. When canning, we recommend using by volume 1/3 coarse sand, 1/3 top soil, and 1/3 organic. The organic components should be pine or fir wood, or peat moss, or rice hulls. Do not use bark, Redwood or cedar wood, or manure. Avoid any organic that turns black.

Drought Tolerant Prunus mume has been popular in China and Japan for over a thousand years and is now becoming very popular in the U.S. It is the longest lived of the flowering fruit species. It flowers very early in the season, January in mild areas and Feb-March in colder areas. The flowers may be single or double, either pink, white, or red and are fragrant with spicy cinnamon scent. The flowers are borne along the length of last year’s new stem growth which can reach 6 feet or more in a single season. The tree will form a multitude of apricot-like fruits that are edible, but quite sour. The leaves are a glossy deep green. To keep the tree from being ungainly it should be pruned. Half of the new stems should be removed each season leaving a 6 inch stub and the remaining half of the stems should be reduced to the 6 inch stub the following season. Sort of a rotation of new growth. This pruning may take place while the tree is in bloom and the branches brought into the house for enjoyment.

Cooke Co currently maintains a scion wood orchard covering 69 acres and contains over 26,000 computer records for every tree, shrub and vine. Before we ever cut propagation wood or buds off a tree, it is verified true to name. Every winter the majority of trees are heavily pruned to force vegetative growth for the juvenile wood necessary for the propagative material. We do not depend upon cutting from commercial orchards or from the production nursery. Chances of introducing error is too great doing it that way. The costs of maintaining these orchards are enormous but part of our commitment to Excellence. # Recommend Sweating in Dry or Cold Climates.
